I think the final nail in the coffin is the poorly used overlay graphics. An op with no original footage is one thing but at least you can put effort into matching the visuals with the music to make it flow nicely like what many YouTube's have done in nicely made amv videos. But the lack of effort into syncing the music and the visuals is highly noticeable. But the poorly used overlay graphics is what sunk it for me. If used well overlay graphics can be a nice addition. These just feel like they were slapped on at the last minute to hide the reused footage but I see youtubers put more effort into adding graphics like that. The song is nice but the reused clips horribly synced with the music and poorly added graphics really ruined it for me.

DC's Awesome Qoutes:

Spoiler:

Bourbon:''A child's curiosity and a detective's spirit of inquiry do have much in common''Vermouth:''A secret makes a woman, woman''Mary/Gin:''It's like encountering a demon in the darkness...''Akai Shuichi:''Fear of death is worse than death itself''Shinichi Kudo:''following the smell of blood to arrive upon a crime scene, using every one of your senses to hunt the culprit, then once you've seized hold of him, sinking your sharp teeth(your evidence) until your opponent gives up the ghost, That's a detective''

It's like the animation staff only managed to use After Effects for the first time and had too much fun with the overlays and 3D frames, and this is the worst re-used footage OP ever, they should at least choose the correct scenes tbh **sighs**

I think you're thinking of OP 34 being used for both DC and the first Magic Kaito anime adaption. And unlike OP 32 (where there was a DC version and an MK version), there was only one version of OP 34—so both DC and MK had the exact same opening (except for the narration).

Ah, yep. Should've written "Misty Mystery by Garnet Crow" instead of trying to remember the number.

What I find concerning about the song is the title. I can forgive that they put a comma at the end of it, although it's not like that's a thing in Japanese either, so I have no idea why they thought that's the way it should be. But why do they only have three "Lie"s in the title when there are clearly four of them in that line in the song?

Oh, could that be reason for the third comma?! It's supposed to indicate there should be a fourth lie?!

The song and the animation isn't that bad. Reading Your posts here I thought that the animation in the newest opening is the ugliest thing in the entire DC, but it turned out that it isn't that bad at all. Surely could be much worse. The song itself maybe isn't the best song ever, but at least I listened it to the end, so at the very least it's listenable and is not ears bleeding.

My dad’s a soldier blue I’ll be a soldier, tooWhen I grow older you will see me rescue youI’ll teach you this old song so you can sing alongWhen I am dead and gone the day won’t be so long.
